We study a deformation of infinitesimal diffeomorphisms of a smooth manifold. The deformation is based on a general twist. This leads to a differential geometry on a noncommutative algebra of functions whose product is a star-product. The…

Recently, it was realized that anomalies can be completely classified by topological orders, symmetry protected topological (SPT) orders, and symmetry enriched topological orders in one higher dimension. The anomalies that people used to…

In this paper, we prove a Wulff inequality for $n$-dimensional minimal submanifolds with boundary in $\mathbb{R}^{n+m}$, where we associate a nonnegative anisotropic weight $\Phi: S^{n+m-1}\to \mathbb{R}^{+}$ to the boundary of minimal…

We provide a classification of invertible topological phases of interacting fermions with symmetry in two spatial dimensions for general fermionic symmetry groups $G_f$ and general values of the chiral central charge $c_-$. Here $G_f$ is a…

The Goldstein $\varepsilon$-subdifferential is a relaxed version of the Clarke subdifferential which has recently appeared in several algorithms for nonsmooth optimization. With it comes the notion of $(\varepsilon,\delta)$-critical points,…

Around 1980 Connes extended the notions of geometry to the non-commutative setting. Since then {\it non-commutative geometry} has turned into a very active area of mathematical research. As a first non-trivial example of a non-commutative…

We discuss non-geometric supersymmetric heterotic string models in D=4, in the framework of the free fermionic construction. We perform a systematic scan of models with four a priori left-right asymmetric Z_2 projections and shifts. We…

We study properties of convex hulls of (co)adjoint orbits of compact groups, with applications to invariant theory and tensor product decompositions. The notion of partial convex hulls is introduced and applied to define two numerical…

We prove linear upper and lower bounds for the Hausdorff dimension set of minimal interval exchange transformations with flips (in particular without periodic points), and a linear lower bound for the Hausdorff dimension of the set of…

It was recently noted that the entanglement entropy for a subsystem of a chaotic eigenstate exhibits an enhanced correction when the subsystem approaches a phase transition at half the total system size. This enhanced correction was derived…

We present here analytical solutions of General Relativity that describe evolving wormholes with a non-constant redshift function. We show that the matter that threads these wormholes is not necessarily exotic. Finally, we investigate some…

Three related analyses of $\phi^4$ theory with $O(N)$ symmetry are presented. In the first, we review the $O(N)$ model over the $p$-adic numbers and the discrete renormalization group transformations which can be understood as spin blocking…

Let $\varrho\in C^{\infty} ({\Bbb R}^d\setminus\{0\})$ be a non-radial homogeneous distance function satisfying $\varrho(t\xi)=t\varrho(\xi)$. For $f\in\frak S ({\Bbb R}^{d+1})$ and $\delta>0$, we consider convolution operator ${\Cal…

We explore a general mechanism that allows (1+1)d CFTs to have interesting interface conformal manifolds even in the absence of any continuous internal symmetry or supersymmetry. This is made possible by the breaking of an enhanced…

We realize a graded variant $K_0(Var_k^{dim})$ of the Grothendieck ring of varieties as a quadratic extension of the subring $K_0(Var_k^{sp})$ spanned by classes of smooth and proper varieties. As such, there exists a natural involution…

We study insertions of composite operators into Wilson loops in N=4 supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory in four dimensions. The loops follow a circular or straight path and the composite insertions transform in the adjoint representation of…

We survey recent work done on the values at integer points of irrational inhomogeneous quadratic forms, namely, inhomogeneous analogues of the famous Oppenheim conjecture. We also prove that the set of such forms in two variables whose set…

Reduced general relativity for four-dimensional spherically-symmetric stationary space-times, more simply called the black hole mini-superspace, was shown in previous work to admit a symmetry under the three-dimensional Poincar\'e group…

We consider Brownian last passage percolation evolving dynamically via a discrete resampling procedure. Using $\Gamma_{(0,0)}^{(n,n),r}$ to denote a geodesic from $(0,0)$ to $(n,n)$ at time $r$, we prove that the expected total number of…

We show that, for pairs of hyperbolic toral automorphisms on the $2$-torus, the points with dense forward orbits under one map and nondense forward orbits under the other is a dense, uncountable set. The pair of maps can be noncommuting. We…
